According to Adam Schefter, son of former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Cris Carter, Duron Carter, is closing in on a deal with the Indianapolis Colts.

Duron Carter had workouts with a number of teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns as well as the Colts and Vikings. Though the Vikings didn’t offer the most money (that was reportedly the Cleveland Browns), they were considered the favorite at one point, and were presumed to be in the top two as the process narrowed down.

Carter played this last season in the CFL for the Montreal Alouettes, and finished the season with All-Star honors, and ranked third in receiving yards with 1039 and second in receiving touchdowns with seven. Carter’s 75 receptions were also third in the CFL.

For half the season, he played with first-time starter at quarterback Jonathan Crompton. Under Crompton the Alouettes were 7-2, while under the previous quarterback compinations (Alex Brink and Ohio State’s legendary Troy Smith), they were 1-7.

Scouting report coming soon.
